Integrating video streaming into a dedicated audiophile system

I'd like to add HDTV to my audiophile system (Trinnov Amethyst, dcs Rossini, Roon nucleas plus, D'Agostino S250 biamp to refurbished Apogee Divas with Dax, 2 JL 13.5 inch subs, Walker Audio airbearing TT with Sumiko MM cartridge, Niagra power straps, ACS room treatments in a larger 21x27 feet room with a vaulted ceiling). There is at least 108 inches between speakers, and I do not want to mount on the wall or suspend the video screen from the ceiling. I seriously am  considering an AWOL retractable screen and short throw laser project.

 

Does anyone have experience integrating HDTV streaming into a dedicated audiophile system, so I could listen and watch streamed and blu-ray concerts, ballets, operas, movies, etc? Does anyone have an AWOL video system -what do you think? Any serious suggestions would be deeply appreciated!

Honestly, maybe I don't know what you need to know to give advice. AWOL is a brand of of projectors and screens which can be Googled. My issue is utilizing an excellent 2.2 system without the hoopla of surround sound. I have a surround system with excellent video but only good sound. I want to take my high end system to become a flexible HD AV system, but do not know how or what is needed to bring it together. Occasionally, I would like to stream met opera or Cleveland orchestra's "Adella" to watch and listen to in high Def. Anyway, if I'm not offering enough info to saturate anyone's crystal ball, then my bad. Please spare yourself the effort, as it likely will offer woefully inadequate advice, saturated with sarcasm that betrays ignorance. None of us want that. Thank you for trying, though.

I do, but I’ll be damned if I share any of my knowledge with the likes of you.  Later dude. I’ll let someone else try to untangle your riddle. Good luck with that.

Trying?

I have the TV audio also go into my HiFi preamp through a stereo DAC but I don’t use it much because the stereo sound is good enough through the planars. Better to go 5.1 with 2 ESLs and 3 ribbons.

Much of the video I watch is 5.1+ which benefits from the latter.

I have seen NO advantages of what you are trying to do. Time to find millercarbon.

I think converting excellent Stereo to a limited video (without surround) is a viable choice. Especially if you already have a 5.1 elsewhere.

Very often I change to 2 channel, cut out my center and surrrounds, it sounds better.

This AVR has a full set of Pre-Outs, front, center, up to 4 subs
